guilherme.pernes · ‎07-15-2008

Hi, one small question about Aironet 1200 model, in a room i will use one 1200 for AP-indoor,but im wondering if i can also use the same AP with one atenna to outside, AP-outdoor.

I will have two wifi clouds? one inside another ouside, with only one AP?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately that's not really a supported way of deploying the AP because it abuses the antenna diversity feature, which depending upon what you're trying to achieve, will give very mixed /dodgy results.

The best way is simply to have one AP for indoors and a second one for outdoors.
